Moo!

Do you hear that? No, you didn’t. You might if you listen hard. What are you listening for? You are listening for a “Big Moo”. I just finished the book by that name. It is a follow-up to Seth Godin’s Purple cow from a few years back. Your business needs a big moo if it is to survive. The book is a collaboration of insights from the 33 brightest minds in business management today. There is GREAT stuff there. Get it. Read it… hopefully you get it and your organization can benefit from it.

4 min

I cut a clipper fade on a textured model at a recent class. I even amaze myself most of the time with the speed and simplicity of the Andis 4 min. fade technique. This guy was easily the best fade I have ever cut in front of a crowd… and it almost cut itself. Have you tried this yet? What are you watin' for?

Remember me?

I have not forgotten about all of you and my blog. No excuses. I have been busy and I have been not very busy. What I mean is that the shows and education slow down a bit this time of year. You know that. Salons are way too busy to go out to attend events. This works well for me here in that I get very busy with a lot of end of year wrap-up and next year planning. I have great things planned for 2008. I have written some interesting programs and I am just now getting these things out to distributors for the coming spring show season. I look forward to seeing you on the road and sharing more great Andis information in 2008.

I have no class

I worked a recent show. I did not have a spot in a classroom. I did not cut on the floor. I was there to set, run and manage the booth. We had a great member of the Andis team there to cut. By my normal show standards this was a very easy weekend for me. The hardest part of the weekend was explaining to stylists why I was not the cutter in the classroom. It is great to have developed a following and it is not my or Andis’ intention to disappoint, but, the next generation of Andis cutters has some great skills and passion for sharing what they know. Look for me AND members of the team on the show circuit in 2008.
